Answer 1

$\huge{\red{\mathfrak {Question:-}}}$

• 65% of the 18500 people who went to a rugby match were males. How many females went? Show your working.

$\huge{\pink{\mathfrak {Solution:-}}}$

$\underline{\bold {Given :}}$

• Total number of people = 18500
• Percentage of males =65%

$\underline{\bold {To\:Find :}}$

• The number of females.

$\sf {Total \:number \:of \:people = 18500}$

$\sf {Percentage \:of \:males = 65\%}$

$\implies Number \: of \: males = 18500 \times \frac{65}{100} \\ \\ \implies Number \: of \: males = 185 \times 65 \\ \\ \implies Number \: of \: males = 12025$

To Find number of females we have to subtract Number of males from total number of people :

$\implies Number \: of \: females =18500 - 12025\\ \\ \implies Number \: of \: females = 6475$

$\green {\tt {\therefore {The\:number\:of\:females\:is\:6475.}}}$

$\rule {307}{2}$
